A continuation of events surrounding the drug war and related social issues of Baja California and Mexico. Keeping an eye on Seig Heil Trump. We are still trying to restore all blogs from 2006 which were hacked by Linton Robinson and his team, famous for supporting the Baja Trump Towers on one of his real estate sites. Highlights of Paris-Simone's favorite music !!

"As
we get underway today, a few thoughts on yesterday. In addition to
going out of his way not to denounce the white supremacist and neo-nazi
marchers yesterday, for those primed to hear it (which is the point) the
President made a point of calling out and valorizing the marchers. In
his at length on-camera comments, in addition to bromides and calling
for people to love each other, Trump noted that we must “cherish our
history.”
Here’s the passage …

Above
all else, we must remember this truth: No matter our color, creed,
religion or political party, we are all Americans first. We love our
country. We love our God. We love our flag. We’re proud of our country.
We’re proud of who we are. So we want to get the situation straightened
out in Charlottesville, and we want to study it. And we want to see what
we’re doing wrong as a country, where things like this can happen.
My
administration is restoring the sacred bonds of loyalty between this
nation and its citizens, but our citizens must also restore the bonds of
trust and loyalty between one another. We must love each other, respect
each other, and cherish our history and our future together. So important. We have to respect each other. Ideally, we have to love each other.

I
spent the better part of a decade training as an historian. I’m
definitely pro-history. But in context, this is an explicit call-out to
the white supremacist and neo-Confederate forces at the march whose
calling card is celebrating Southern ‘heritage’ and America’s history as
a white country. Zero ambiguity or question about that. And they heard
the message. White supremacist leaders cheered Trump’s refusal to denounce them and his valorization of their movement.

Where
does this come from? Who knows who wrote this text for Trump. But many
of Trump’s most important speeches were written by white nationalist
aide Stephen Miller, who came from Jeff Sessions’ senate office. Miller literally worked with Alt-Right leader (he coined the phrase) Richard Spencer
on racist political activism when he was in college at Duke (Spencer
was a grad student at the time). This isn’t some vague guilt by
association. He’s one of them.

When Gabriel Sherman asked what he
identifies as a ‘senior White House official’ why the White House didn’t
denounce the Nazis in Charlottesville, he got this: “What about the
leftist mob? Just as violent if not more so.” Maybe I’ve missed some
other background comments out of the White House. But I haven’t heard
anything that approaches that level of venom about the nazis or white
supremacists. When the top ideologues at Trump’s White House look at
yesterday’s spectacle, they instinctively see the counter-protestors as
enemies.

Was that official Miller? Who knows? It could have been
Bannon or Gorka or frankly a number of others. There are plenty to
choose from. That’s the point. This wasn’t resistance to making a
conspicuous denunciation or being cute. Those were Trump’s supporters.
He recognizes them as supporters, indeed as part of his movement. And he
supports them. This is probably largely instinctive on Trump’s part.
It’s more ideological and articulate on his aides’ part.

"This
weekend, hate groups and domestic terrorists of all stripes went to
Charlottesville, VA to push their hateful message of white supremacy,
fascism, anti-Semitism, and bigotry.

When they got there they
waged violence on unarmed anti-racists, killing one and injuring many
others. We mourn for the life that was lost, and we will honor all those
under attack by congregating against hate in our own communities.

So far I am not finding any local Mexican reports on the outrage created by Trump by his comment which proved once again his "...inability to denounce right wing violence" and which was embraced by the alt-right.

However, they also offered special coverage of Ivanka Trump 's statement and noted it was different than her fathers actually naming alt-right groups. Who cares, Ivanka is part of the Trump Mafia, not an innocent angel which these Trump monsters would have you believe.

Finally, reports are just beginning to come in on the results of rallies across the nation against Fascist Domestic Terrorism where the turn outs are unclear, along with many op-ed pieces. Here's just one:
